 .DISCUSSION...
 High pressure will continue to bring hot weather through Friday 
 depending upon the timing of a cold front approaching from the 
 northwest on Friday. Heat Advisories are now in effect through 
 Friday afternoon.
 
 A cold front is likely to bring rounds of showers and storms late 
 Thursday afternoon through Friday, but may push far enough through 
 the area for drier weather, with more seasonable temperatures, to 
 arrive early in the upcoming Labor Day Holiday weekend.
